Grand Hotel Magenta Paris is a 1-star budget hotel, located in the centre of Paris. The Magenta hotel is situated just few steps of the Gare du Nord Station and the beautiful Sacré Coeur church. The hotel is located in a popular area close to the Montmartre area, where you can enjoy the typical Parisian atmosphere and the work of many artists.

The multilingual staff at the hotel's 24-hour reception desk is very friendly and will help you with providing tourist information and answering any query you have. You can also ask at the front desk to arrange a shuttle transfer to the airport with a private shuttle company.

This hotel had bed bugs! These critters are a serious issue, which you can bring home to infect your own home if you are not careful- the usual treatment is to boil or throw away all your belongings. I switched hotels when I realized- but the next one had them too. Bed bugs tend to infest whole neighborhoods, so I would stay away from hotels in the gare du nord/gare du est area. I covered from head to toe in burning, itchy bites! This hotel was disgustingly filthy. I have stayed in lots of horrible cheap places in my life, but THIS was really beyond the pale. The sheets were COVERED in bed beg skins, and there was a tired looking woman "cleaning" the floors with a filthy, dirty rag tied to a stick. There was ahorrible chemical smell in the room each morning after she was done- I wonder if it was to cover worse odors. Also! Internet costs 5 EURO a DAY. The men running the place are creepy. Stay far, far away.

"A poor night in an expensive hotel"

First problem, when you arrive, you pay and then you can enter the room, which is quite decrepit and obsolet. Dirt wall, the curtain should have been white long time ago, but now they are grey. And only one plug, I mean we are in 2013, not in 1913.

"opinion"

I think I could have found something better for that price. The room was Ok. The toilet too small and the wifi system didn't work properly. However, it was well situated, near Gare du Nord (3 minutes walking).

"poor presentation"

We booked this hotel because it was good value, the beds are comfortable to sleep in, the location perfect, the decor could be improved, carpets in the rooms very old and used, table tops old and some broken. I would rather spend some more money and skip the poor presentation.

This hotel is small, but it is suitable for backpack traveller because the location is near station so we can have train, metro or bus to any destination in or out town easily. It's room is relatively clean.

"Renovation"

The best was the location and we did not like bath room. The employ were very helpful and kind allways. Some renovation in rooms could increase value of Hotel.

"Grand hotel magenta"

The hotel is dirty . Bedsheets are filthy and you can feel the bugs crawling under the sheet! Although the location is convenient as gare du nord station is just 10 minutes away. I wouldn't recommend it though. :(

"good value for money"

The hotel is very conveniently located super close to Gare du Nord. The people working there are nice but speak very little English. Internet (Wifi) is available but NOT free.The room was good, however the bathroom was a bit small but no mayor problem.
